”Plant Toxins and Antinutrients in Vegetables
Before getting into the specific vegetable that are bad for you, let’s take a moment to introduce you to the main reason why; the presence of plant toxins and antinutrients.
If you’re like most people, the fact that vegetables contain these natural poisons in news to you.
Think about it this way, plants don’t have fangs, fists, claws, or feet. But like all other species they want to survive and need to protect themselves. What they lack in limbs, they make up for with a bevy of chemical defense mechanisms known as phytoalexins.
In fact, these naturally occurring pesticides account for over 99% of all the pesticides you ingest– that’s 10,000 times more than synthetic compounds. [3]
Some of these substances are specifically designed to harm predators. For example, phytohormones found in popular foods like soy cause infertility in herbivores, effectively driving their population down.
Another class of harmful compounds called antinutrients can inhibit digestive enzymes and leach important minerals leading to nutritional deficiencies.
Over time, repeated exposure to toxins like oxalates, histamines, phytohormones, and antinutrients like phytic acid and lectins can result in allergies, leaky gut, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation.
And this is to say nothing about mycotoxins (toxic molds) and bacterial contamination that can cause acute and long-term ailments. 1 2
According to the Cleveland Clinic, spinach is an extremely high oxalate food known to increase kidney stone formation and urinary oxalate content.3
A 100-gram portion of spinach contains approximately 645 milligrams of oxalate.
Oxalates occur naturally in plants, where they regulate their own internal mineral content and help defend against predators. [1]
In humans, oxalates bind to vital nutrients including iron, calcium, and magnesium, limiting their absorption.
This binding property is responsible for the fact that almost none of the iron in spinach is used by your body. Popeye’s spinach habit was actually bad for him. [2]
Health Effects of Oxalates
Can suppress the immune system and reduce mitochondrial activity [3]
Contribute to kidney stone formation. [6]
Oxalate crystals are significantly associated with fungal infections in the intestine. [9] [10] [11] [12]”
